First & Second Year
There are four themes running through the entirety of both the Medicine and Graduate Entry to Medicine (GEM) programmes.
Evidence-based Medicine and Research • Clinical Competencies and Preparedness for Practice • Professional Medical Practice • Healthcare Systems, Quality and Patient Safety
In the first trimester, you will take a series of modules that introduce the application of medical science to the study of biological systems and disease. You will also learn the clinical skills needed for the rest of the programme. The remainder of the first two years integrates the medical science disciplines, while gradually expanding your professional capabilities in a clinical environment.
Third & Fourth Year
In the final two years, hospital and community placements with structured clinical education complete your degree. During your clinical training, you will participate in a series of specialist rotations, including medicine, surgery, psychiatry, obstetrics and paediatrics. Finally, you will undertake our acclaimed Professional Completion module to integrate your knowledge and prepare you for life as an intern.
Learning methods include lectures, small group sessions, practicals and enquirybased learning in the classroom and at the bedside.
